Just in case no-one said this on the day, Helene — you look good enough to eat! 😉

I’m kinda curious how the Creative Commons Attribution-Non-Commercial-Share Alike licence attached to the image applies to all this… The licence allows you to make derivative works (e.g. a cake) but I guess you are not allowed to sell the cake. You have to share it (yay, I like cake!) and “distribute the resulting work only under a licence identical to this one”.

It was created by grabbing a frame from the movie every half a second and working out the average colour of the frame.

I was really tempted to create a protest group in Facebook but, for some reason best known only to themselves, the people at Facebook are insisting that Huddersfield is really somewhere in Northern Ireland…

Even though the correct option is there (“Kirklees, United Kingdom”), it always changes it to “Huddersfield, Northern Ireland” when you click on the save button.

I wouldn’t mind, but there isn’t even a Huddersfield in Northern Ireland!

To get to Northern Ireland from Huddersfield, I’d have to drive for about 8 hours, catch a ferry to travel 50 miles to another country, change all my money into a different currency, and I’d have to remember to take my passport with me.

So, please Facebook — Huddersfield is in England, which isn’t the same thing as Northern Ireland!!!

Apologies for the spam words that are currently appearing in the hot topics cloud at the moment.

It looks like the BlogJunction blog has been hacked — if you view the page source for the blog, you’ll find multiple hidden links to gambling sites (the links are currently being hosted by Universitat Oberta de Catalunya UOC).

I’ve removed BlogJunction from the list of sites used for the cloud, so the spam should disappear in the next 48 hours.
